Redshift hardly ever works. I'm glad to hear that the Cinnamon team is working to get a night shift mode working proper.

I run Mint on my framework 13 AMD laptop. Works great out of the box. Even the fingerprint reader works without any issues.
Great news! My only issue is that Clem and team keep on taking up more and more tasks. Of course there's maintaining both Linux Mint and LMDE, the entire Cinnamon desktop, and their own applications, but there are also all the deb programs they have to package now that Ubuntu is moving further towards snaps, and there's also the whole new Clutter framework, and the maintaining of GTK3 programs so they don't have to deal with libadwaita, and then there's the Cinnamon UI refresh, the Wayland transition, and probably some other things I can't even think of right now, and they are working on all of that.
And now they're working on the best compatibility with Framework laptops? I'm just worried that they might be taking too much work for themselves.
I hope this includes LMDE
This is nice, but wouldn't it make more sense to work with the Linux kernel so their drivers work on any distro?
Framework 17 owner here, they have also partnered with Ubuntu and Fedora as official distros, this is just expanding the ecosystem. They also have a robust and well supported set of communities for other distros and often have their support engineers participate there.
Didn't know they released a 17" version:p
They do mention compatibility a lot, if it's hardware, I agree with you. But perhaps they mean something else?
